Fire Hose Nozzle - great alternative to garden hose?

eShine Canada: Fire Hose Nozzle



Anyone use a fire hose nozzle, or have any idea about the above specific one? How is the pressure compared to a regular garden hose nozzle on "jet" mode?

I have one, although I didn't get it from eshine.ca.



IMO, you don't get it to "create pressure", pressure is pretty much limited by your water delivery system and there's only so much a nozzle can do. That being said, I have no use for a lot of "pressure" when washing my car. I'm generally just pre-wetting and rinsing soap off with it. I need flow more than pressure.



I do like it, however, and haven't felt the urge to switch to anything else. Mine seems indestructible with a full metal core and a rubber coating that doesn't damage anything and protects the nozzle when simply dropped on concrete or asphalt. It can focus into a tight stream but I usually use it in wider modes. When spraying a wider pattern it is still "full flow". Lots of water moves through the nozzle and it doesn't create mist which flies around in the air until you're very, very wide - like almost off.
 
Although there are slight variations, all of the ones of this style I've seen are virtually identical. I suspect that they are made by the same factory and white-labelled out to lots of different brands.

I have/had 3 of them and none are close to the Bonair ... Rubber is different and they don't shut off at full turm both ways like the Bonair does.
